If you can believe in something great, then you can achieve something great.

Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.

My travels led me to where I am today. Sometimes these steps have felt painful, difficult, but led me to greater happiness and opportunities.

Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we're going. There's something ahead worth fighting for.

Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.

Adversity makes you stronger, don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing, ever ever ever came easy, and the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. I've accomplished a tremendous amount, in a very short time as president.
